THE SHIPS
OLOKUN
OLOKUN is a totally restored 1974 C&C 27.5ft. She has been giving tours for the past three years with Detroit Sails. We have several different Licensed Captains to make available more trips for you. She is a DNR Inspected and Certified Vessel and has been sailing in the Great Lakes for her whole life.
Olokun is revered as one of the most commanding Orishas in Yoruba religion. She is androgynous Orisha that can take on any form. Olokun is the guardian of the deepest depths of the sea and the owner of the oceans and all the riches that they possess. The deep sea is OLOKUN’s kingdom and she resides there happily.

When Olokun was purchased she was in great shape and sailed beautifully. She has had professional work done on her and is fine-tuned to be graceful with power. Her recently refinished wood work emphasizes her classic look and beauty.
THE COCKPIT
There’s plenty of room for guests on deck, but we wanted the cockpit to feel both classy and cozy. She has a bimini to provide shade in the cockpit and cushions for the seats.

Dreamcathcer is an Island Packet 31 Cutter Rig with an overall length of 34’ and is a DNR Inspected and Certified Vessel. She was built in 1988 in Largo, FL. This boat is a very sturdy, sea-kindly boat with high quality finishes including teak throughout the interior and exterior. She has wide hips making her spacious and steady providing the utmost comfort while sailing. Her 4’ keel allows her to take you into to shallow areas close to shore while enjoying luxury on the water.

Dreamcather was delivered straight from the factory to Lake Erie. She has been a fresh water boat her entire life. She spent 32 years in Lake Erie before being brought up to Detroit in 2020.
